Hoplite

It was in a humble bundle way back. Same with EU4 and CK2 had their own bundles iirc. All were great deals if you didn’t own it.

I love the game. Considering to buy it for two of my friends so we can play multiplayer some day.

My poor brain can only take so much abuse from more advanced mods. When i look at what i have to build next and I see that it will be days of building without reaping the reward, my brain says “not today”.

But yes, the factory is always growing if not in the computer, it is in my brain.

There is no help. The factory is the only thing there is. I am not even on 1500 hours yet but sometimes i just need a mental break from the game and that period varies… Greatly. I always come back and longing so much for the expansion.

Modded Factorio and elden ring.

Different games for different people.

Different style of game. Samurai Showdown.

Thanks for posting the video. Was a good watch and I will watch some more videos from that channel. Really good content.

I remember when I read about bg3 not happening back in the day and it made me sad. I wondered a lot about what could have been bit I had no idea it was going to be in 3d and the only pictures were concept art. It is sad when IP and legal stuff comes in the way of creativity etc. I am happy that BG3 exists today but it is not the same.

And even today there are no other games that do PvP as well as DAoC did. I am playing guild wars 2 and that is as close an experience as I have found in any newer mmo.

I don’t have too much time to play because of parental duties but every second I have goes to this game now. Looking forward to the next time I can sit down and play a map, solving the puzzle, gaining some resources for meta progression. It is so good.

This. Haven’t got around to play the other games in the series yet even though I loved the first one.

My kid is 17 months and gets bored when nothing happens with his unplugged controller and goes for whatever else is nearby.

Gotta survive the biters!

Dwarf fortress, Factorio and Transport tycoon deluxe (or open ttd).

As someone who doesn’t have too much time any more because of family it is the total opposite for me. If I would play and die I would just stop. Back in the days I always played hardcore but now I don’t see the point in seeing your time spent just evaporate into northing but memories. I do usually try to get as far as possible without dying so I play as if I would play hardcore but without the deletion stuff if I would die.

With that said I know that it is much more interesting to play hardcore for some people and they can’t see the fun in playing without the extra challenge of never dying.

You can enjoy it 100% solo. The only place you see others that you never have to interact with is the hub. There is nothing in the game that force you to do anything with others or even suggest that it is multiplayer except some skills that mention allies (but works on yourself too). If that is too much I don’t think the game is for you anyway.

I just stopped buying main stream games for the most part. Indie games is where it is at. Often better gameplay loop and comes at a better price and I would rather see my money going to creative people instead of some greedy CEO.

Live service is a no from me.

This. I come to this type of place to read about games and memes but more than 50% seem to be about politics or irl news. Getting tiresome.
